John Craig Venter may help you with your research. They took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the custom of burying of the Jews. “(Jn 19, 39-40) Although the historian Flavius Josephus (37-95 AD) said in his Jewish Antiquities that aloe of the Bible is a variety of agaloco, formerly called aloe stick, and used in incense and carpentry: the body is washed with water lilies, incense, clove and aloe stick, but not the result of crushing the leaves of the plant, but which comes from India and the Greeks call agaloco, exquisite perfume From the eighth century, Arabs, aware of the virtues of this plant by Dioscorides and was called “Lily of the Desert”, they used either an internal and external.

In such a way, the Soviet Union, that initiates the Space Race with great advantages, was definitively defeated in this battle. 2. FOR BACKWARDS OF the SOVIET MASK the secret in science it steals the main element to it keeps that it healthful: the scientific public opinion. Peter Kapitza Even so the first years of the Space Race have been favorable to the Soviets, some reasons had led to a gradual degeneration of its space program, culminating with its defeat in the dispute for the conquest of the Moon.

Since the beginning the Soviet space program faced internal crises and problems. But as the character of the same it was to militate, practically all its failures were hidden even though of the proper Soviet people. But the successes were divulged. Exactly at the time of the successes of the Sputnik satellites, each successful Soviet launching happened under the weight of others three or four failed launchings.
